Decisions, decisions!

Hi guys, Sorry for bothering you guys so damn much about the stroker I want to build but I have to ask you a question.

I have the money to build my stroker shortblock now but I dont have enough for the heads and intake. So I was thinking about buying and putting the heads and intake that I want for my 347 project on my 302 for now untill I can scrounge up the cash for the stroker shortblock. I read an article by MM&FF about it and I intend to use the exact same parts.
58cc AFR 185's w a TFSR intake and a new comp cam. They got 425 hp out of that combo with a stock compression 302 and didnt have to rev over 6500. I could afford the top end first and wait for the shortblock.

What do you guys think? My motor has 82,000 miles on it. I could play untill I get the dough for the shortblock of my dreams.

You already have the exhaust. I'd get the heads and intake with that cam. Since the intake and heads are the worst parts on a stock ford, you're way ahead of the game. You'll probably be surprised at the power it will put out. How big of a cam are you getting?

Definatly go for it. My car has more miles than you could ever imagine. A rebuild in somewhere, but its been thrashed on.

Go for it, **** 425... it'll be fast!

DO IT!
